Compare, contrast, do whatever you want with this.

 

[Mumbai1986]

There are 60 guaranteed spots I think at this moment, meaning, there are only 8 spots available to all of these teams

 

[Cyclonepride]

Yeah, really hard to project how it will all shake out, as the bubble is pretty weak, and an awful lot of teams on there lost. There's going to be a lot of suspense for a lot of teams on Sunday.

 

[jj-cyclones]

I don't know why but I don't want WVU in...

 

[Mumbai1986]

This will be one very interesting selection sunday

 

[Mumbai1986]

With that loss St. Joes is out. NC State probably clinched.

 

[Mumbai1986]

The bubble this year is so messed up. I can barely keep track of it. Here is an update of who I think is left:

Ze Bubble... Just shrunk.

 

[Doc]

Let the Bonnies hit the flo!

P.S. This is random, but I have to give props to ESPN.com for their headline "Seminole Moment". Nice.

P.P.S. I called the Pac-12 and A-10 bid stealers when we were on the bubble a month ago.

 

[EYEoftheSTORM]

This is crap if they seriously put us at a 8 or 9. There are not enough spots for all those bubble teams to get higher seeds and make room for the mid major conf. winners as well.

 

[EYEoftheSTORM]

I have to think that the Xavier loss helps us get off the 8 as well. Could see them taking our spot maybe and us going to 7?

 

[HiltonMagic23]

Love seeing big east teams miss out
